These "pretentious arrogant twats" have known that exosomes can carry mRNA and miRNA and what exactly as early as 2007. Further, we knew that tumor cells used them to manipulate its environment and how as early as 2010.
And we've known about them since a study published in 1987. It seemed to just carry obsolete proteins from cells called reticulocytes. But we've known for well over a decade that they're used as a form of intercellular transport, especially within the immune system. No legitimate scientist was going, "Hey this does this one thing for this specific type of cell under certain conditions, I bet it does that exact same thing for all other cells in the body."
In fact scientists noticed that platelets were also using exosomes and it was a mystery as to why.
It's funny because you're the one who doesn't seem to be understanding basic microbiology, like the difference between a protein and mRNA.
Sure, it is easy enough to contain with the right procedure.
Except the human element keeps fucking that up. Texas Presbyterian should have sent the patient to a different hospital equipped to handle it the moment they knew what it was. They didn't. Two nurses screwed up and got sick. The hospital wasn't giving proper oversight to the problem. Incompetent management ensured that problems didn't get fixed.
Ebola is also more infectious than people would have you believe. Direct contact is within three feet. If they sneeze or cough on you, they can transmit the virus. The virus doesn't present itself with these symptoms, but it's nevertheless a perfectly reasonable possibility. Under the right conditions (4 degrees C on glass), the zaire strain has been shown to survive up to fifty days. Further, it's still plenty alive for weeks after the host has died.
But still not enough to make me the least bit worried until you factor the human element. The nurses did screw up even though they swear up and down they didn't. If they didn't then they wouldn't be sick. It's that simple. The suits work perfectly fine supposing they don't have any defects and are manufactured up to par. Maybe the hospital cheaped out and bought inferior equipment. But don't buy for a moment that they didn't mess up.
95% of people or something don't even wash their hands long enough to kill germs. Humans are really bad at this.
Something like 95% of people don't wash their hands long enough to kill germs... Or thereabouts if I remember the statistic. That was done on college kids.
Only if you need to be treated at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
They've demonstrated themselves to be completely incompetent. Eric Duncan should have been transported to a hospital with the equipment and expertise to deal with quarantining highly infectious disease. The first Ebola case in the US, if you recall, was a doctor admitted to a hospital with staff and facilities prepared to handle it.
Lighter shoes means less weight but I doubt it means much imo. The weight is pretty insignificant.
It's more likely better training and diet. There's a myth circling out there that low-carb is BAD for athletes and especially for runners. Which I suppose can be true for someone who runs middle distance 800 meters - 3200 meters. Nutritional science may as well be in its infancy, and the culture is worse among runners who proliferate their version of bro science.
Marathon runners don't have the lowest VO2 maxes, cross country skiers do, so there's clearly more room for them to improve their cardiovascular systems.
Those statistics can't be used. The control group has to be in the same environment as the treatment groups.
"Don't withhold the vaccine!" is tantamount to bad science. We don't even know if the vaccine works in humans yet, and here people are jumping to the conclusion that it may help someone. I think the danger of letting a vaccine that may be ineffective proliferate is a far greater cost than having it work and having a control group.
If they were off doing some SWAT operation to bang in some guy's door for uploading some movies to the internet instead, yes I have every right to be upset.
Police are a limited resource, a resource that should be used against dangerous and lethal crime. So if the police couldn't make it to my house for a robbery right away because they were tied up bringing down some crime kingpin, that I can perfectly accept. But if they're going to waste their time on some large corporation's IP, I'll be damned if I'm okay with that, and it's appalling to think others do.
And this happens all the time in poor urban neighborhoods, there just aren't enough police to deal with all the crime.
Abstainers do no better than heavy drinkers, it seems. Of course this should be taken with a shaker of statistical salt. Correlation is not causation and all that jazz.
Alcohol, like any drug, is bad in toxic doses, which happens to be the doses it's often consumed. Nontoxic doses can provide therapeutic benefit against stress and anxiety. It binds to GABA receptors, making them more sensitive. This in return causes an increase in GABA activity and thus a decrease in overall brain activity. It's a mechanism well known to have an anxiolytic effect. Alcohol also seems to prevent the breakdown of dopamine (the good ole feel good transmitter).
So there is reason to think drinking it would cause people to be healthier. It is not the only obtainable and reasonably safe substance that affects GABA, however.

I don't know about you, but I get uncapped, consistent internet from TWC. So that's why I stick with them.
I can run downloads all day for the whole month and the quality doesn't change.

This is not algorithmic. This is logistics.
Google isn't modifying their search results.
They're adding advertisements for legitimate content at the top of searches and on the side... For a price.
It's brilliant. I love you Google.
Amazon is a giant man. It's not just a dotcom bookstore.
Exactly my point. They knew they weren't equipped to handle it, yet they tried to anyway. That's just careless.
Something like 95% of people don't wash their hands long enough to kill germs... Or thereabouts if I remember the statistic. That was done on college kids.
I wonder what the number is in healthcare.
Yes, I'm aware how healthcare really works.
I'm saying after he tested positive for Ebola, obviously.

So the solution is that we should get rid of thieves.
More sting operations and harsher sentencing outta do it.
Musk is basically the polar opposite of Jobs.
One delivers little with a lot of hype and the other delivers a lot with very little hype.
It's only a matter of time before they catch the greatest mastermind of them all... 4chan.
Eh, that may as well be a moot point with proper form. If anything the cushioning is slowing you down unless it's got springs in it or something.

Or are you kidding?

Must mean they've already caught all the murderers, rapists, serial killers, and other dangerous criminals, now they have to turn to this.

How is it a BS charge if they find drugs in your car?
So let's fix its core.
Five major extinctions on Earth does certainly work the statistics in his favor.
I'm certain the tardigrade will be fine, though.
Yeah this basically is just a double charging scam.
